Abstract:
An object is to provide a cellulose acetate remarkably good in hue even when a low-quality pulp is used. A method for producing the cellulose acetate includes a step (1) of crushing a wood pulp, a step (2) of bringing the crushed wood pulp into contact with acetic acid to subject the pulp to pretreat the wood pulp, a step (3) of causing the wood pulp to react with acetic anhydride after the pretreatment to acetylate the pulp, a step (4) of hydrolyzing the cellulose acetate, which is yielded by the acetylation, and a step (5) of precipitating the cellulose acetate, an acetylation degree of which is adjusted by the hydrolysis. In the hydrolyzing step (4), in a hydrolysis reaction system, a concentration of oxygen is set to 3% or less.
Abstract:
Provided is a polyorganosilsesquioxane capable of forming, when cured, a cured product that offers high surface hardness and good heat resistance, is highly flexible, and has excellent processability. The present invention relates to a polyorganosilsesquioxane including a constitutional unit represented by Formula (1). The polyorganosilsesquioxane includes a constitutional unit represented by Formula (I) and a constitutional unit represented by Formula (II) in a mole ratio of the constitutional unit represented by Formula (I) to the constitutional unit represented by Formula (II) of 5 or more. The polyorganosilsesquioxane has a total proportion of the constitutional unit represented by Formula (1) and a constitutional unit represented by Formula (4) of 55% to 100% by mole based on the total amount (100% by mole) of all siloxane constitutional units. The polyorganosilsesquioxane has a number-average molecular weight of 1000 to 3000 and a molecular-weight dispersity (weight-average molecular weight to number-average molecular weight ratio) of 1.0 to 3.0.

Abstract:
To provide cellulose acetate that exhibits excellent hue even though it is produced by using low grade pulp having a particularly low α-cellulose content, and also achieves excellent moldability and excellent production efficiency of a molded article. A method for producing cellulose acetate is also provided, the method that can provide cellulose acetate with excellent stable productivity and production efficiency without passing through steps such as extraction. The cellulose acetate of the present invention includes xylose with a molar content rate of greater than 7.0 mol % and not greater than 15 mol % in a sum of molar contents of xylose, mannose, and glucose; and has a hue of not less than 0.60 cm−1 and less than 0.80 cm−1 at a wavelength of 430 nm by absorptiometry; and a 6% viscosity of not greater than 160 mPa·s.
